Ouch — That Had to Hurt

Does one of these eggs look extra extra extra large?

The Red Stars (including Ruby) lay the brown eggs.  Two of my Easter Eggers lay aqua eggs that are almost as big as the brown eggs.  One Easter Egger lays an avocado colored egg (in the picture above) and her eggs are usually a good bit smaller that the other 8 hens lay.  But that one egg is HUGE!

When the chickens first started laying, we regularly got eggs with double yolks.  Someone told me it took their bodies a while to figure out what they were doing and the double yolk eggs would stop coming.  Sure enough, they did and it’s been months since I had one.  Mom told me this egg might have a double yolk because it was so huge but I didn’t think it would til this morning when I cracked it for breakfast.

It made a very nice omelette!

Stash Report – June 20, 2010

I was sure I accomplished more this week but I guess not.  Come to think of it  . . what did I do this week?

If I’d just spent a little more time sewing, I could’ve gone past the 200 yard net mark this week.  I really planned to make some pillow cases last night just to get me there but there were too many other things demanding my attention.

Used this Week:  12 yards
Used year to Date: 341 yards
Added this Week: 0 yards
Added Year to Date: 148 yards
Net Used for 2010: 193 yards

Here’s my chart:
